the big number out the front of the formula tells you how many molecules/moles/the amount of the overall molecule. the subscript (smaller) numbers after each letter say how many atoms of that element represented by the letter there are in ONE molecule of the compound.
1. we can know the symbols of the compound. 2. balanced equation can be known. 3. direction of the reaction. 4. we can know the no. of reactants and no. of products involve in the chemical reaction. 5. no. of atoms present in a compound can be known.
it helps u find the substances used to make the element
Because you are able to see what elements are in the compound and how many electrons they have in each atom.
It represents an organic compound called Butane.
The representative for a chemical compound is the chemical formula.
S8 is the symbol of an allotrope of sulfur, a chemical element - not a compound.
the letter H represents the element Hydrogen
The chemical formula of a compound states the number and types of atoms in each molecule of a compound.
This is the chemical formula (empirical formula) or the formula unit of this compound.
A Chemical formula
chemical formula
Yes
The empirical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a compound; the structural formula is representative for the spatial structure of the compound.
Different elements within the compound/ion.
It represents an organic compound called Butane.
A chemical formula or molecular formula is a way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a chemical compound.So this being said, that basically means the chemical formula represents the atoms that are bonded to one another (An atom is classified according to chemical element and isotope more specifically)
This is a chemical formula; for example sodium chloride is NaCl.
This is a chemical formula; for example sodium chloride is NaCl.
The representative for a chemical compound is the chemical formula.
Because is the most simplified method of representation.
